I just had my first fill about a month ago and my surgeon put 2 cc's into my band. I am not feeling restriction and I requested to go in sooner for my next fill. Has anyone experienced this? How many cc's before you start feeling a difference?

Thank you all for taking the time to reply to me. I am a month post op and I am going for my first fill in two weeks. I am happy I have people I can talk to about my situation because this is a very emotional time. None of my family and friends have the lap band so they cannot relate. I am excited to see the results.

My doctor told me to stay on a liquid diet for four weeks after surgery. I am finding this impossible and have been eating solid foods. Am I the only one who is doing this? Any pointers for me? Has anyone experienced complications due to eating solids right after surgery? I really appreciate all the replies!
